📰 News we're reading
1. Louisville Metro Council proposes cuts to affordable housing, more funding for parks and streets (lpm.org) — Louisville Metro Council is moving toward a 2026-27 budget that cuts the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund while boosting spending on parks, roads and solar projects. The plan keeps most of Mayor Craig Greenberg’s $1 billion proposal, including a larger police budget and support for west Louisville’s new Hunger Relief Center, but further reduces long-term affordable housing investments. 
2. Louisville libraries encourage summer reading to help prevent learning loss (wlky.com) — Louisville’s public libraries are rolling out summer reading programs and family events to help kids avoid learning loss while school is out. Branches across the city are offering prizes, flexible reading choices, and activities like the popular Greatest Day of Play to keep children engaged and visiting their neighborhood libraries.
3. NLC Invests in Innovative Community Resilience Strategies (nlc.org) — Louisville is receiving up to $25,000 from the National League of Cities to expand its community resilience center work, strengthening Neighborhood Place and the Office of Financial Empowerment. Mayor Craig Greenberg says the funding will help families access services, build economic security, and bolster neighborhood resilience alongside similar efforts in Dallas, El Paso, and Tempe.
4. AED saves Louisville man who pushed to make the device more accessible (wave3.com) — A longtime Louisville City soccer supporter survived a sudden on-field cardiac arrest thanks to an AED he had previously pushed the league to keep nearby. Now recovering with an implanted defibrillator, he’s urging more Louisville sports venues to make AEDs easily accessible so other players and fans have the same lifesaving chance he did.
5. Louisville football wants early answers. Ole Miss will provide the test. (wdrb.com) — Louisville football is opening its season with a high-stakes Sunday night showdown against playoff-tested Ole Miss in Nashville, a deliberate early measuring stick for Jeff Brohm’s revamped roster. With a new quarterback, key transfers, and a deeper defense, the Cardinals are trading an easy warmup for an immediate reality check that could quickly reshape expectations for the season.
